How You Set Up an Account Rules for Outside Processing Purchases

You can define account rules to derive charge accounts specifically for purchases of outside processing items.

To do this use, the following tasks in the Setup and Maintenance work area, Procurement offering, Procurement Transaction Account Rules functional area:

• Manage Account Rules task

• Manage Mapping Sets task

Use the Manage Account rules task to review the delivered Purchasing Charge Account Rule. The rule includes the Outside Processing Account rule value. The rule value includes a condition defined for outside processing purchases, where the Outside Processing Indicator value is set to Yes. When the condition is true the charge account is derived from a mapping set.

Use the Manage Mapping Set task to configure the delivered Outside Processing mapping set associated with the Purchasing Charge Account rule. To derive the charge account required for automatic creation of outside processing purchase orders, you must define rules for the delivered mapping set. Outside processing-related Input values include:

• Inventory Organization Code

• Work Order Sub Type

• Purchasing Category Code

• Item

For each input value select an output charge account to map it to.

You can also use the Manage Account rules task to define a rule with a condition where the Destination Type Code is set to Work Order.
